18. Letter of Recommendation • Before writing the letter, you may want to ask the person for a list of his or her projects, since you probably will not be aware of all the work they've done. Finally, if you have not had much contact with the person, you may be better off declining to write the letter of recommendation, rather than putting together something vague and dispassionate

19. First Paragraph – • Start out by specifying in what capacity and for how long you have know the person whom you are recommending. • If the person is an employee or coworker, indicate the term of employment, the responsibilities of the position, and any significant projects undertaken by the individual. You may wish to include a sentence about the nature of your company and its activities. Here, you can also give a one-sentence summary or overview of your opinion of the recommended individual.

20. Second Paragraph -- In the next paragraph provide a more detailed evaluation of the person as an employee. Describe his or her performance on specific assignments and list any important accomplishments. What are the individual's strengths or shortcomings in the workplace? What was it like to interact with him or her?

21. Third Paragraph -- To sum things up you can make a more broad characterization of the individual and his or her demeanor. Overall, was the person responsible, polite, warm, disagreeable, lazy, spiteful? Finally, indicate the degree to which you recommend the individual for the position she or he is seeking: without reservation, strongly, with some reservation, or not at all.

Simpson72 East 83rd StreetNew York, NY 10019(212) 555-4635Letter of Recommendation for Ralph MorrisJune 2, 1998To Whom It May Concern:I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Ralph for six months during his employment at Q & R Services International. He occupied the desk next to mine, and we collaborated on several projects together. I am pleased to say that Ralph is a team player, a kind and sincere individual, and an ideal coworker.

23. Ralph always did more than his share of the work on the projects we shared. He often took the initiative to get things started and picked up the slack when things were going slowly. I was glad to work with him, since the higher-ups always praised the assignments we completed together. Ralph was nice to everybody at the office, and just about everyone seemed to like him.

24. I highly recommend Ralph for whatever position he may decide to take up next. He is the type of employee that anyone would be happy to work with.Sincerely,Peter S. Simpson
